OLE object always shown as icon... and I don't want to!

[clo]

The action seems relatively easy, however...

I have an OLE object field stored in a table to show an image on a form (the image is associated with a record). I also drag the field on my form to create a bound object to be able to view the picture associated with the record. To insert an image, I selected the Object option of the Insert menu. All of the check boxes (in the message box and in the properties of the bound object) are sent to display the content, not the icon, and the form still displays the icon. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE IMAGE, NOT THE ICON!!!

I have tried something else... I tried to copy the image from Paint and paste the image on the bound object: I see the image (yes!) but when a double click the image (in order to see the entire picture), I am not able to see it. I get a message telling "The OLE object doesn't support the attempted operation". I have tried with the .gif and .jpg image format, witch I think, are both supported by Access...

Same problem with the Report, an icon is shown even if all properties are set to displays the content...

Any suggestion would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Thank you!

I think that there is an explanation of this effect on the "solutions"-page of the Graphic Powerup for ACCESS (

Change the "Display Type" property of the object frame from "Icon" to "Content"
